In a show of strength on the 42nd day of Samajika Sadhikara bus yatra by the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP), the gatherings were held at two locations — the Rajanagaram constituency in East Godavari district and Uravakonda constituency in Anantapur district.
Addressing a gathering in Rajanagaram, Minister Merugu Nagarjuna criticised the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu for obstructing social justice for marginalised communities. “Under Mr. Naidu’s rule, social progress came to a halt. Dalits faced attacks, atrocities, brutality, and evictions. Mr. Naidu openly questioned the desirability of being born as a Dalit, and threatened BCs. He even asserted in a letter that BCs were not fit to be judges,” Mr. Nagarjuna alleged.
“Under Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s rule, marginalised communities now live without fear,” he claimed.
